Chapter 795
"Oh, God!"
Alan Horn looked at the report in his hand and was extremely amazed.
This is the film satisfaction survey report sent by the survey company hired by Warner Bros..
Sixty-eight percent A + 25 percent AA rating Only a pitiful 7%.
Although it is only a spot check, it also represents the popularity of this movie.
Since the emergence of Hollywood, no movie has been able to obtain such an audience reputation.
《"Joker" is the only one
…………
A villa in Malibu, this is the cabin Martin gave to Cameron Diaz.
Each of his"collections" will receive a similar nest, treated equally.
At this time, a hearty battle was going on in this cozy little villa.
"Give it to me, my dear, give it all to me, and I will give you a child too! Oh, ah ah ah……"
…………
The next day, early in the morning.
Martin, who was sleeping with Diaz in his arms, was awakened by the ringing of his cell phone.
It was Drew calling,"Oh, Martin, the box office for the midnight show last night came out, it was amazing, oh, God, it was amazing!!!"
"How many!"Martin is very calm.
"Yes, wait, Diaz is with you too, right? Call this little devil 410, you should listen together, you have set a record"
"Okay, okay, wait a minute."Martin said.
After a while, Diaz's voice sounded, and it was a little hazy and sleepy, looking a little lazy.
"Drew, I'm awake. How much is the box office? Can you tell me?"
"Haha, the box office of last night's midnight show totaled US$39.72 million. There were a total of 3,440 theaters showing the film, and the box office of a single theater exceeded US$10,000."Joker" breaks records."
Cameron Diaz suddenly woke up, jumped up from the bed, and the white rabbit jumped
"Yes! She hugged Martin's head and shouted excitedly:"Dear, yours, no, our movie broke the record, it broke the record."
Martin's head shook:"Uh-huh, uh-huh!""
"Honey, aren't you excited? Talk! ?"
"Uh-huh, uh-huh, uh-huh!"
Cameron Diaz lowered his head strangely. Only then did he realize that he had been too excited just now. He pressed Martin's face on the two big (babies) and quickly let go.
Martin raised his head, with a look of enjoyment on his face, and said with a smile :"Not bad, very good!"
Cameron Diaz puffed up his chest proudly,"Of course.
Martin said in surprise:"I'm talking about breaking the record.""
"Yeah! Cameron Diaz smiled brightly, pressed Martin's head down again, and let go after a moment,"What now?"
Martin nodded,"Nice!""
Alan Horne's home.
Our Warner CEO got up early in the morning.
He is old, sleepy, and he is still pretending to be worried.
But at this time, he was in a good mood, and he leaned comfortably against the wide On the back of the sofa, he leisurely picked up a Pinar del Rio cigar from Cuba from the cigar box, cut it thinly, lit it with a blowtorch, took a big puff, and then spit it out. After he Next to him, there was yesterday's box office data sheet.
Alan Horn couldn't help but glance at the bright red number on the report sheet again, showing a satisfied smile.
…………
Compared to the joy of Martin and Cameron and the comfort of Alan Horn, the atmosphere in the conference room of the Universal Film and Television Department was a bit tense at this time.
"We must increase our publicity efforts. I am very confident in the quality of"Inglourious Basterds", but if the movie wants to sell more tickets, it still needs to let more people know that"Joker" is very powerful, but it is impossible. Swallow all the box office, we still have a chance……"Quentin Tarantino was frothing, and wanted Universal to continue to increase publicity for his movie.
The vice president lady glanced at Brad Pitt, who was sitting next to Quentin.
Brad was in a bad mood. To be honest, the movie"Joker" shocked him a little. He had a nightmare last night.
He dreamed that he was unemployed and had to put on a clown mask and go (bidd) with the clown to rob a bank. Then Martin appeared, wearing a Batman armor, and killed them all... (To read Baoshuang novels, go to Feilu novels Net!)
After Quentin finished speaking, he sat down and gently touched Brad Pitt with his knee, which meant:"Man, it's your turn to take action!"
Brad Pitt suddenly came to his senses and said,"I support Quintin. Ding's idea, we must increase the publicity budget,"Inglourious Basterds" is a good movie, it can definitely compete with"Joker"……"
"Fighting with"Joker"?"A Universal executive sneered,"You should go to the theaters to see it. People are almost filling up those theaters to see"Joker". It is said that the three major theater chains are preparing to expand the scale of screening."
"We cannot admit defeat!"Brad Pitt said sternly.
The main thing is that he can't lose. He can't afford to lose.
"Yes, we cannot admit defeat!"The vice president lady spoke,"Even if"Inglourious Basterds" can't beat"Joker", it can still swallow up the remaining box office of"Joker". That's not a small amount. Just like Quentin said just now,""Joker" cannot swallow up the entire market. Movie fans will always need other types of movies. Let's increase publicity and increase the budget by five million."
The final word
…………
Universal's publicity machine was activated, and news and information about"Inglourious Basterds" were released in mainstream media and on the Internet. but——
《"Joker" is so popular
《As soon as the news of"Inglourious Basterds" appeared, it was flooded with comments about"Joker".
For a moment, this R-rated movie that exploded into the summer season had a winner-takes-all vibe.
《New York Times》："《"Joker" does not have hot action, large-scale special effects, fierce gun battles, and it does not even have clear subjective intentions and purpose. Martin made it into a thought-provoking movie with character traits research... …
The film presents a visceral cry of anguish and disgust against a sick, indifferent system of power and domination. Martin's directorial skills are reflected in this film. He abandoned and downplayed many exaggerated designs in comics, turning the clown into a synonym for a lower-class group, and used his superb acting skills to make this character resonate with the audience.……[]
The use of color in the film is very unique, with strong contrast between the front and back - in the early stage, dark tones are used to give the audience a sense of depression, and in the later stage, saturated and bright tones are used to create a wanton atmosphere. This change in tone is actually a kind of Psychological implications for the audience...
Martin Meyers' performance is one of the biggest factors in the success of the film (the other is his director). In his portrayal of the characters, he strives to make the audience experience an extremely huge pain. It left a deep impression on people. He performed the heartbreak and despair of a lonely man, and also performed the anger that gushed out after Arthur turned into a clown and seemed to be able to destroy everything.……"
